The latest Japanese Splatfest in Splatoon 2 is over, and the results are in.

Players were asked if they prefer wearing warm inner wear or warm outerwear during the winter. The event pitted Heattech and Ultra Light Down up against each other in collaboration with UNIQLO.

Those who sided with outerwear prevailed in the end by a score of 2-1. Team inner wear managed to win solo battles by 1%, but outerwear secured slight edges in popularity and team battles. Overall, it was very close.
